Francesca Simon (author of the Horrid Henry books and the opening lines for our consequences stories) is hosting a special Horrid Henry April Fool's tea party in London on Thursday 1st April to celebrate the launch of Henry's new joke book.
There will be cakes, face painting and free whoopee cushions aplenty not to mention the chance to meet Henry in person.
And Francesca has given us 10 sets of family tickets to give away*.
All you have to do to win yourself a set of tickets is answer this foolishly easy question:
What day is April Fool's Day?
a) 2nd April
b) 1st April
c) 26th May
Post your answer below by 10th March and we'll choose the winners at random out of that big hat which only comes out the cupboard on random-competition-choosing occasions.
This competition has now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered. The random hat has spoken and big well done to Kyle, Vicky, Jane Hobart, Jean Combs, Sharon Carter, Michele, Sindy, Kay, Jane and Kevan. Tickets winging their way to you now.
*Each Family ticket admits two children who must be accompanied by at least one adult and no more than 2 adults per ticket. In case you were thinking about bringing your extended family. Like your entire class and teacher.
b) 1st April
